What is complimentary therapy? Is complimentary therapy beneficial or just some type of scam? How expensive is complimentary therapy? In this article I will be answering these questions in my own mini guide to complimentary therapy.

Gone are the days when complimentary therapy was just something that hippies tried, that was back in the nineteen sixties. It is now actually quite hip and trendy to attend these types of treatments and what’s more they do work.

Complimentary therapy is basically what is says on the label, it is therapy that compliments your more traditional health treatments via for example a doctor.

The favourite of these complimentary therapy treatments for me personally has to be an Indian Head Massage. Even though I am very happy it has to be said that I lead quite a hectic life. I do not feel that I am stressed however the stress comes from trying to fit everything that I need to do into twenty-four hours and to keep all of my family, friends and business contacts happy. Having an Indian head massage once a month is a little treat for myself and is a chance for my muscles to become a little less tense.

Please note that this article is by no means trying to sell you something. I also do not work within the alternative therapy sector; I actually provide uvb treatment, underfloor heating and I also work within the caught speeding advisory industry – a bit of a mixed bag in reality. With regards to complementary therapy I have just found it be extremely beneficial and thought I would share my experiences with the readers of this article.

I also like to attend a forty minute reflexology treatment every few months. I was not really sure whether I would like this form of complementary therapy due to the fact that a person would have to touch my feet. I have to say that it was in fact quite incredible and I felt superb afterwards.

As for cost, I personally feel that it is quite cheap, an Indian head massage at my local natural health centre is only £25, this is for a treatment which lasts about an hour.

As a final thought, another treatment that I have heard is very very good is an aromatherapy massage; I am booked in for one of these next week and will let you know how it goes.
